I assume G4 will eventually air the NBC broadcast sometime after along with reruns of the special. Pretty much everyone in the US will be able to see the NBC broadcast since it's a local channel. Fortunately, my DVR can record two channels at once. G4 is reairing the NBC special the following day. Tuesday, August 23rd. Unsure of time though but I read in an article the rebroadcast is Tuesday. What are you guys talking about though? They are not airing at the exact same time.. they are back to back. The only thing you have to worry about is a 2-second switch between channels.

After any channel changes, my HD-PVR takes a few seconds to sync up. It also takes about 4-5 seconds to begin recording after I start it. So I like to have some padding before anything I record. This way, I can switch over to NBC, rewind the DVR about a minute, let the HD-PVR do its thing and record away.

I'm lucky. I just have a regular DVR, I just need two TVs free and we have 4 so I should be good.

Maybe they'll tell us the course is hard Or that we're watching American Ninja Warrior. Was there any promotion except for the random ANW3 promo on G4? During Le Tour de France on the channel Versus. I know this is a little late but I just wanted to let people know that the James McGrath guy was the one who knocked out Patrick Cusic (he also mistook him for Tre) Ryan Cousins knocked out Cusic. I remember because I made a solemn vow that if I ever met that man, I was gonna bake him some cookies.

Let me guess, this is a case of G4's editing isn't it?

Yep, not even looking at Quarterfinals, but in the Semis, the first three competitors' positions in the top 30 were 30th (as it should, 30th to 1st), 26th, and 8th.

Will there be a new thread made for Boot Camp? Barely anyone on this as it is.. LOL The last time on the 4th episode we were already on page 15'ish LOL So up to you guys. I think it's a waste since it's obvious no one is talking about the show.

I think it's a waste since it's obvious no one is talking about the show. Agreed. It was new and controversial then. Now it's "run of the mill". We all sorta want to get along to the real thing at this point. Especially because most of us know the results.

Match-ups for eliminations if anyone wants to know. Brandon Douglass took out Dustin Rocho, and Brian Orosco took out Chris W. Also, Jake Smith did indeed replace Frosti, as Frosti injured himself. I'll have my crow to eat cooked medium-rare, please.

That cliffhanger at boot camp is a joke and looks twice as wide as the real deal, which is weird because at the same time I feel they're pushing them too hard in boot camp, specifically with the punishments and the absurd warped wall.

The punishments are crazy this year, but I think the reason no one beat the warped wall at all was just because they did it after the absurdly huge cliffhanger, and the logs tired them out. Also glad Jake Smith did replace frosti not only since I called that but also because he has much more upper body strength by the look of him beating that monstrous cliffhanger which I could not see frosti doing. One final thing Brian's rope climb was pretty impressive

Things i learned from the competitor chat.
Top 15 Competitors who were there: Chris, David, Drew, James, and Ryan for a little bit.
David said:
UCH - The first 2 ledges are 2 inches, all of the others are 3 inches! Super easy he said
Warped Wall - It was 17ft high. He said the one at Sasuke is 15ft, but that includes the base which is 2 ft. So in total the warped wall in Japan is roughly 13 ft. That means this 17ft warped wall is by far the highest Warped wall ever conceived, and 2 ft higher than the one at ANW. This was confirmed by drew, james, david, etc and everyone else in the chat.
James has been watching the show for 6 years. He lost on the quad steps last time.
Brian was taught a better rope climbing technique by David and Brian K. Prior to ANW. This surely helped him.
Drew hurt his leg in a non Sasuke related incident.
Frosti hurt his back training for bootcamp.
James arm is STILL hurting from his injury in the 2nd episode.
Ryan HATES tires =p
Apparently the 2nd punishment with the tires was the WORST punishment of all.
There will be no Jump City season 2.
Drew only trained for ANW3 for 2 weeks.
James does in fact have his own car =p
James though for sure he'd be eliminated after getting that injury.
There was NO DEL TACO food this time. Chris and David both said the food was incredibly diverse and VERY VERY healthy!
James was a walk on because his video was not accepted.
I'm sure there was a lot more than I can't quite remember... but anyway, that's all. It was quite fun talking to them all. Surprisingly, james is the one I talked to the longest, and he was there for HOURS (he's even still there as of me typing this post, and the episode ended 3 hours ago lol)
